Life My life was that of a Navy Dependant who lived in Gitmo twice, first in 1965 to 1966 we lived in Nob Hill, the housing area closest to the dump and The NorthEast Gate, then from 1969 to 1971. We lived in Center Bargo the second time. My father retired in Pensacola Fla. Even though my dad retired, I didn't, I am still on the road. I've written a book about my life, it is a "print on demand "so it has to be ordered. Its called "Still On The Road" by Barbara ONeill it is available throught amazon.com.
